Absolutely no discussion of 10m working age in the UK sitting on their bums doing nothing for a variety of reasons. Why do we need a single immigrant as long as these are the.numbers and expanding rapidly? I am an academic at one of the UK's famous universities (world class apparently). I confirm that English language skills are declining and the visa.system is most certainly being abused (indeed, students have.asked me to be complicit in such matters). I am also a landlord. All the data in our industry shows that immigration is pouring oil on the fire of the housing crisis. Our numbers for applicants per room are at an.all time high (we have tracked the data for 15 years, and Spareroom rent statiatics tell a story of huge increases in the past 24 months. Immigration as an issue is breaking the culture of the country. it will not end well.
We would benefit from a scheme that places people into jobs rather than them being able to avoid applying or in some cases unable to break through the application process. My cousin works at a college where 40% of the students are from overseas. He said the poor standards of English are a real problem, and not surprisingly some people cannot meet the course requirements leading to friction when they are told they will not pass a course they have paid fees for.
The link between the so called housing crisis and immigration is obvious. Bit we need to recognise that no one really wants to solve the crisis as to many vested interests are making to much money. Spivs and Rachman vermin at the fire front. When you deliberately build an economy where economic well being relies almost entirely on high housing costs, you need a way to keep demand ahead of supply.
Maybe someone can help me here. If other countries can train a surplus of carers, doctors etc, why cant we do so too? Why do we need to drain the surplus intellectuals of third world countries to just keep the UK running?
I love this government backed think tank, so white and middle class. As a banker myself, more people = more profits. Not sure what everyone else gets in return. No migrants in my area anyway
The language of immigration has created unrealistic expectations both for incomers and host population. Migrants move in order to better their own lives. Migration more recently is couched in terms around 'contributing to the economy'. Migrants sending remittances to families back home now opt for family reunification - post war we had sponsorship systems to bring people across. Until people - voters and govt' -accept that people move to live not necessarily to work, though one thing tends to lead to the other, we will continue dickering with policies which seem to cancel each other.
The Home Office has moved lots of people to Temporary/Indefinite Leave to Remain status who were previously on the asylum or visa system to hide the numbers. These people will never leave, and in many cases will be a net burden on the taxpayer and state provided services. The speaker who said it hasn't happened because the govt hasn't wanted it to happen is correct. That's the bottom line.
I love this. An intelligent conversation about immigration. Civilised people care about immigration. This is exactly what we need, to reduce anger and frustration, by raising awareness of the complexities.

Lowering standards will have a detrimental effect on the quality of UK graduates and the skills they bring to the market place

the civil servant is making the argument that heroine is good for the heroine-user
Hearing him speak you can see exactly why we are in the mess we are in now. Dripping with groupthink.
Listening to the ex Civil servant you understand why we are in the mess we are in now. The absolute belief that immigration is a "good" thing.
